Director of Tax Advisory

**About Level10 CFO** Level10 CFO is a new firm for the new economy, offering a fresh take on outsourced CFO advisory and accounting services. We lead with an advisory\-first mindset, supporting start\-ups, scaling companies, and established organizations that need real financial leadership—not just someone who can spell GAAP correctly. We live these core values: * Our clients’ interests always come first. * We brave the crucial conversations. * We embrace technology. * We actively challenge the status quo. * We like to laugh (even at ourselves!). **Summary** We're expanding into Tax Advisory \& Compliance, and we need a leader who can build the entire function from the ground up. Think: architect, operator, advisor, and occasional magician (“No, we cannot write off your tiger, Brad.”). The ideal candidate is a tax professional who is entrepreneurial, deeply knowledgeable, unflappable during deadlines, and able to explain complex tax rules in English rather than IRS\-ese. **What You’ll Do** * Build and operationalize a full Tax Advisory \& Compliance service line within 90 days. * Create service tiers, pricing, SOPs, workflows, and scalable infrastructure. * Deliver high‑quality tax advisory and preparation services with \>90% on‑time accuracy. * Partner with CFOs and Controllers to integrate tax strategy across clients. * Identify and drive revenue opportunities * Recruit, lead, and develop a high\-performing tax team. * Contribute ideas that make Level10 CFO even better. * Maintain \>85% client satisfaction (bonus points if clients enjoy tax talk). **Experience** * Been to a few tax rodeos. Maybe even owned the rodeo. * CPA or EA Required * Experience advising small businesses on tax planning, structure, and compliance. * Experience building or scaling a tax function (or dreaming about it). * Comfortable working directly with leadership and answering “Why is my tax bill so high?” * Bonus: survived at least one tax software migration without swearing off humanity. **Skills** * Ability to create order from chaos—systems, workflows, SOPs. * Exceptional tax technical knowledge (table stakes). * Clear communication skills—able to translate IRS into English. * Strong leadership and talent\-development abilities. * Comfort implementing and maximizing tax technology. * Analytical abilities strong enough to impress Sherlock Holmes. * Proactive, resourceful, and able to take (and give) a joke. **Education** * BA/BS in Accounting, Finance, or related field. * CPA or EA preferred (and if you have a Master’s, we won’t hold it against you). **Working Conditions** * Hybrid/remote flexibility. * Occasional onsite client visits. * Some evening/weekend work during busy season. **Physical Requirements** * Must be able to lift a printer… or at least a stack of tax returns. * Ability to carry the weight of client expectations without breaking a sweat. **Compensation** We’re exploring multiple structures for the right leader: * Employee role with competitive salary \+ incentive comp. * Joint venture arrangement. * Partnership/equity stake. **Ready to Apply?** Send your resume and a brief cover letter—including your proudest tax win or funniest tax horror story.
